I have a short week and need to toss in my NFL bets by this Thursday.
I'm looking at the following games:
NE -8 @ WASH
NO -3.5 @ TENN
SF -4 @ ARIZ
Do any of you like any of these road favorites to cover?
Could see Wash covering, but still not winning outright. The lower spread totals make me weary of the other 2, especially since they're the last 2 fighting for the 2 seed.
I'm not sure if I am following your logic.
I was thinking about this last night, and I am leaning towards the 49ers because they are playing light out D. I think that alone will help them cover by 4 points easily. Based on your comment you made it sound like both NO and SF have nothing to gain for winning these upcoming games on the road?
My fault, I answered your Q backwards. I like both NO and SF to cover, because of the low spread total and they both DO need to win to get at the #2 seed in the NFC. I'll be laying a unit on both NO and this weekend.
Ok, makes sense, you were thinking I was asking about taking the home underdogs to cover.
These were the only bets I like due to the favorites playing solid football now. After taking a closer look at the NE bet, I'm a bit weary. Their D just scares me too much right now, even though the Redskins stink.
I'm leaning more towards NO as a better "lock" to cover the 4 vs SF, only due to the fact NO can put up point in a hurry, whereas SF has to continue to play lights out D, and will probably wind up winning somewhere in the ballpark of 20-10 type of score. I don't think TENN has the horses to keep putting up the points that NO can.
